Cultural heritage meets contemporary creativity

A new exhibition at the Takpa Gallery features a range of artists, including newcomers and residency artists.

Twelve-year-old Nawang Paljor Tamang initially didn’t want to try Thangka painting, but his father encouraged him to give it a chance. Now, he says, he loves it. Tamang is proud of his painting at the Takpa Gallery—a bright blue wish-fulfilling gem on a yellow background. He’s one of the youngest artists showing their work here.
